JOHN A. LOGAN AND JOHN ROACH

While we are doing justice to the mem
ory and character of dead men-amOng
them grand and heroic John 4. Logan and
big-hearted, patient. persevering John Roach
let us not be mean and brutal toward iiv-
ing men. Secretary Whitney was quite
smart and fresh when he went into Office,
in his treatment of the Dolphin. and did not
mean 10 murder Mr.. Roach outright. Had
he known from the beginning as much as
he supposed he did. OF as much as he did
after he found out a few things. he yould
probably have pursued different course
one more in the interest of justice and more
beneficial TO the interests of the country.
We cannot acquit Mr.. Whitney Of doing in
justice to Mr.. Roach and trying 10 break
him down. financially. Mr. Whitney must
bear that burden. Ii John Roach had been
democrat, even child must know that
there would have been no trouble about the
Dolphin. The smart new administration
would have swallowed it without winking.
and possibly without trial trip.
Mr.. Murat Halstead must not be held re-
spOnsible for the sickness of John A. Lo-
gan. The suspicion is as absurd as it is
cruel. John \. Logan was a good hater
and hard hitter, and he never asked for
quarter. He took his own course as to the
Payne investigation, and Ohio republicans
felt that II was the wrong course. The dy-
ing "f the great and noble man. whose
course in this respect was not approved bv
US, does not change the character of his
conduct. Mr.. Halstead thought he made
mistake. and Mr.. Halstead does not 90
about batting people with feather busters or
pillows, or firing spongeS at them. He
hurls solid shot and he hurls them TO hit
and to hurt. He did what he deemed il TO
be his duty 10 do. Could Mr.. Halstead
have foreseen-as was of course impossible
that the General was so soon to dle-we
are sure that his course would have been
marked with more moderation and consid-
eration.'
What has occurred in these two instances.
however, is suggestive, and ought to be in-
structive. Matters of administration should
be affected by principles of justice and
right, and not by political considerations.
and when good men make an unexpected
break, in what we believe 10 be the wrong
direction, We should not jump 10 the con-
clusiun that they are totally deprayed and
eternslly lost.

gladstone sunlight. -Kneeling upon the
chimney top he was afraid TO stand up.
Doolan saw all these things as in dream.
His consciousness of the beautiful was
dimmed by the awful possibilities which
lay between him and the mill roof. His
conscience was quickened. In that time
of supreme danger he thought OF the
many mean things he had done in his
brief career. He muttered little half
articulate prayer under his breath as he
looked with staring eyes into the great
black mouth OF the chimney, which
seemed 10 cape at him like the wide
opened jaws Of a monstrOus behemoth.
BY this time people, attracted by the
, unusual sight Of a boy on the chimney
top, had begun to gather. They came
running ont of Goose alley and down
Murray street Tesmsters stopped their
horses, and conferred together about how
they could reach the boy No one offered
TO 20 to DoOlan's assistance by the way
he had gone but Mickey, who laughed at
the danger The flame Of Doolan's hope
hared up brightly for a moment, as he
saw his mother come running down the
road.
""Did raise We fur this!" shouted Mrs
Doolan, shaking her fist at her son.
''Come down out o. that afore yer father
comes home, or it'll be a sorry day fur
ye"'
As Mrs. Doolan began TO realize how
far her hoy was from the grouud-the
chimney had never seemed so high TO her
before-she saw that he had gone too
deep into the shadows Of fear to he swed
by any impendin, apple bOugh or leather
strap. And so Mrs. Doolsn stood in the
dusty road, her hands kuotted in her
apron, and greedily watched her boy as he
crawled backward over the chimney's
edge She saw the feet which she had
tucked away only the night before beneath
the bedclOthes, feeling their way trem-
blingly over the bricks ip search of the
first spike She heard the shout that
went up from the crowd when the feet
retsed on the welcome spike. Then she
hid her eyes behind her apron, while a
deathlike silence fell upon the crowd. Her
boy had reached the lOosened spike. Fear

who slipped the moose in the end Of it over
the sp Ike above him and slid down TO the
roof, where he was received by a dozen
hands and laid in the arms OF his mother.
Mickey waited until Doolan WAS safe.
Scorning the aid of the rope. he came
down the way he had gone up. As he
jumped upon the roof he exclaimed:
